You waiting for me?
- Where's the laptop?
- Simon's laptop?
Last I heard, you did
not have it, right?
Yeah, well, now I really don't have it.
- Wait, you lost it?
- No, I didn't lose it.
It was stolen from me.
There's a huge difference.
Oh, and you think I stole it.
Yeah, well, who else knew
that I did not have it?
Okay, if I've learned
anything from horror movies,
and I have, it's that usually,
the call is coming
from inside the house.
What are you trying to say?
Your parents probably found the laptop
and gave it back to Simon's family.
Or, I don't know, threw it off a cliff,
which is probably the better idea.
No, no, 'cause if my
parents had found it,
I would have heard about it immediately
'cause I would have been
grounded permanently.
You really trust your parents, huh?
It's cute.
Yeah, I trust them
more than a drug dealer

You're late for class.
What would Yale think?
Guys, I have an idea.
I think somebody killed
Simon to steal his laptop,
used it to get into About That,
and then posted that insane confession
to freak everyone out.
And also because psychos love
getting credit for their work.
You guys, this is a true crime
podcast waiting to happen.
Simon posted people's
secrets all the time.
Nobody ever tried to
poison him about it.
Yeah, I know, but this was
supposed to be a big reveal.
He was building it up.
He'd never done that before.
It was probably so good.
Yeah, well, some of the theories
people are posting are pretty insane.
- Like what?
- Addy, what did we say?
Don't read the comments.
Or have others read them for you.
Just that four big posts got teased,
and then four people were
in detention with Simon.
[SCOFFS]
You think those four
posts were about us?
Or are you saying that
one of us killed Simon?
Either way, it's insane.
And just to say it, if
anyone in this entire school
was capable of murder,
it seems kind of obvious.

Somebody plant this peanut oil in there?
It's moisturizing.
I use it for my hair and
dry skin and blackheads
and look, this peanut oil
could not have killed Simon.
Peanut oil has to be
cold pressed for someone
with allergies to react
to it, and that's basically
only the super bougie
gourmet kind, basically.
How do you know that?
Saw it on the Food Network.
Maybe that's something you
should keep to yourself.
We'll run some tests against the samples
we found in the library.
I think one of you took Simon's laptop.

If you did, we're gonna
find out, and soon.
I'm sure you had a perfectly
good reason for taking it,
but you gotta tell me
now, because if we find it
and we find you've been
hiding it and lying about it,
especially after I've given
you a chance to come clean,
I don't have to tell you how that's
gonna sound to a judge, right?
You got something to say?
Yes, um
Why are we even talking about the laptop
when you just found peanut
oil in Addy's locker?
It's moisturizing, and, you know,
some of us actually like to spend money
on makeup once in a while.
I'm trying to help you guys here.
This is serious.
Why do you think I'm sitting
here instead of Officer Miller?
I'm a homicide detective.
This is now a murder investigation.
- What?
- Murder?
We found peanut oil in Simon's cup
and only Simon's cup.
We also found capsule residue.
Someone put peanut oil into a capsule
and dropped it in the

Hey, what's wrong?
Robyn is a good friend

You think I need a lawyer?
How am I supposed to pay for a lawyer?
Bet those other kids

on retainer already.
Maybe Jake's family knows someone?
Are you two okay?
Why wouldn't we be?
So you didn't cheat on him?
I read the comments, too.
[SIGHS] Addy.
Cops talk to you again?
- No.
- Okay.
The mayor's kid.
They're gonna try to pin
that on somebody, fast.
My legal advice is simple: just be you.
What?
What are you gonna say to him
when he asks you about it?
They always ask.
And baby, you are not a good liar.
You are a model student
from a great family.
Focus on that.
I think I'm just a bit
nervous about the showcase.
Got nothing to worry about there.
You're ready.
So go to Simon's wake
tomorrow with your family,
pay your respects to the mayor.
So much comes down to optics,
and we have to present
you as you really are:
the innocent girl who got caught up
in all of this by sheer bad luck.
But what if it wasn't bad luck?
Addy, this girl who was in
detention with me that day
I'm going to stop you right there.
Stay away from Addy.
Jake's not gonna find out,
and I am not gonna end up like you.
We are gonna go to college together,
and after college, we'll get
married and travel the world.
Jake says I'll love
Paris, and when we're ready
to settle down, we'll come
back and raise our kids here,
and he'll go into the family business,
and I'll be a mom.
But a good one.
And that's always been our plan,
and I won't let anyone ruin it for me.

from the other three suspects, actually,
especially the one with
the criminal record.

- My day?
Yeah. [LAUGHS]
Not much to tell.
Okay, well, I'ma tell you about my day,
'cause it was crazy.
Oh, my God, this woman at work
called me flamboyant, Cooper.
'Cause of my nails,
I guess? I don't know.
Flamboyant really feels
like a microaggression.
So I turned into a drag
queen in that moment, okay?
Yes, I said, I'ma give you flamboyant.
Every single time she opened her mouth,
I said, "Yes, queen!
Ooh, you better work the
house down, period, poo.
Ahh!" [LAUGHS]
And then I ended up by twerking
in the middle of the shop.
I swear to God, that's what happened.
That's what happened in my head,
Cooper, because Margot is my supervisor,
so I can't even be sassy
for real to her face.
Like was your day as bad as that?

Jake told me. He was worried about you.
It prevents acne.
You've asked me to use it before.
I don't know, girl.
You had an actual murder
weapon in your locker,
and you were in detention that day.
So was Cooper.
What if that post was
about him and Keely?
Ask her.
I mean, she clearly
thinks it's about you.
Did you see that little
stunt she pulled yesterday?
And did you see Jake's face?
Not that it even had to be
about someone in detention.
And I feel bad saying this,
but I've always thought
they were a weird couple.
Totally, right? So private. No PDA.
Completely the opposite
of how she was with Zach.
And I saw Keely talking
to Simon at Jake's party.
Wait, what party? What was I wearing?
- The lime green swimsuit.
- Mm, so cute.
Mm-hmm. She looked upset.
Like, upset like "Simon found out
she cheated on Cooper" upset?

She had to come to school today
to clean out his locker,

were still great friends,
even though we haven't
talked since middle school.
And now she wants me
to come to the wake,

I was coming out of gym,

Ended up being two minutes late.

Under some lockers.
I guess it must have fallen
out of my bag or something.

You saved me from myself yesterday.
You may even be a good guy, deep inside.
Very deep inside,

Okay, for the record,
I did make an effort
to be on time for the first day.
Just wasn't meant to be, I guess.
What do you mean?
My locker was jammed.
I had to get the janitor.
Dude had to pry it open with a crowbar.
On the first day of school?
Yeah, Ms. Scarecrow
didn't think it was weird.

I think someone set us up.

Excuse us, everyone.
Thank you so much for
being here with us today
to honor our dear Simon.
I know it would've meant the
world to him to have you all here.
[LAUGHS] Oh my God, come on.
Simon was the biggest
light in our world.
His joy, his love of his friends.
The Russian Nobel prize winner
Alexander Solzhenitsyn once wrote
Get Cooper. Meet me upstairs.
"Some are bound to die young.
By dying young, a person
stays young in people's memory.
If he burns brightly before he dies,
his brightness shines for all time."
Come with me, asshole.
There was a lightness in Simon
that he didn't even know he had.
That's the hardest part for our ordeal.
Yes, they took everything from him,
everything he was, but most importantly,
they took away everything
he would come to be one day.
There is no bigger crime.
And our hope is that it
will be punished accordingly.
- Fancy seeing you here.
- Oh!
- Hey.
- Hi.
You know, I've been to three
funerals already this year.
This, by far, best food.

That's a lot funerals.
Have a lot of cancer friends.
Kind of popular at
the hospital, you know?

You want a crouton?

He would hate this, right?
I mean, they're making this into, like,
his mom's political fundraiser.
Everybody's here pretending to care.
They all just want to be seen.
Yeah, well, in my experience,
these things always end up
being about the people in the room,
not the person that died.
Makes sense.
The living are the
ones that need comfort.
Simon is just having a
blast in hell right now.
[SNORTS]
Hey.
But it's best if you focus on the food.
I wish he was here, like,
making fun of everyone,
pissing off his fake-ass parents.
Nobody here knew who

everybody here hated him.

Not everybody.

Who gave you detention?
Same. Why?
- She gave us all detention.
- So?
It's basically her signature move.
- And we were all set up.
- By Ms. Avery?
It just doesn't seem like a coincidence.
And then there's the
new About That posts.
Somebody's messing with us.
Yeah, but that person knew
about what happened with my locker.
You were the only ones that were there.
Are you sure you didn't tell Vanessa?
I mean, the two of you seem to
be gossiping a lot these days.
Vanessa and Jake wouldn't tell.
I know them. I don't know you.
Oh, well, let me introduce myself.
I'm not the one who had
peanut oil in their locker

It's not cold pressed.
I already told the cop
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up
for a second, all right?
Why would someone single out
the four of us for anything?
The About That posts. The
ones Simon was teasing?
What if someone thought
they were about us?
But they weren't.
I think it's safe to
assume one was about me.
Yeah, naturally.
Weren't you calling me a nice guy,
like, five minutes ago?
Mm-hmm, before you were
selling drugs at a wake.
And you've never done a
criminal thing in your life?
- So you guys have no secrets?
- No.
- No.
- No.
And even if Simon thought he
had something on one of us,
that doesn't mean he got it right.
Is that why you told Vanessa
that the cheating one was about Keely?
Can we go back to the setup?
I think we should go to the police.
Yeah, of course you trust the cops.
Excuse me?
You know what they'll tell you?
That one of us could have
framed the other three
and then pretend like
she was framed too.
I mean, you could literally
be pushing this entire theory
so we don't suspect you.
Oh, so you're accusing me now?
Without Simon, you get
to be valedictorian.
You seem to have given
this a lot of thought, man.
Maybe you haven't given
it enough thought, man.
Oh, whatever you say, detective jock.
Fuck you.
The police think we did it together.

Hey, Evan.
Are you okay?
I just lied for you.
Yeah, I told your dad
you went to the bathroom,
but I saw you with Nate
looking like a couple of coconspirators.
I thought your lawyer had said
to never be seen with him, ever.
You must really want me
to follow my lawyer's advice, huh?
All right.
Okay, look, I get it.
The motorcycle,
the incredible hair, the very
brooding energy.
That's just not me.
He's cool, and I play backgammon online.

to bring you down with him.
You're better than that.
You deserve the best.

She'd leave that back door open,

watch the old classics.

Because Addy's right.
No one can see us meet.

it's that we worked together.

gonna be about me, I think.

Well, don't. Okay? I cheated on him.
I cheated on him, okay?

I thought we were over.
I thought he didn't love me anymore.
He'd gone on that People

He was gone all summer, and
he wasn't texting me back,

on his story every day,

now I'm gonna end up single
